ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes:A main box side/front with lattice & side accentsB main box side and back with side & inside back accentsEASTER word cut (not labeled)C side flaps with accent overlaysD bridge #1 (front) with grass sectionsE bridge #2 (back) with eggs & overlaysF bunny body with under body (ear contr) baseG head with nose, whiskers, pawsH eye contrast underlay

2. Prepare the main box shapes by bending back

at the vertical perforation lines between panels

and at tab/flanges.

3. Join the two main shape halves by overlapping

the side/back straight edge at the opposite tab

perforation line, adjusting so that bottom edges

line up, and gluing in place.

4. Position and attach the accent panels:lattice on the outter front (line up punch hole) and sidesby centering to allow an offset margin on topand sides, aligning bottom edges.

5. Position and attach the back accent panelon the inside back panel of the base insimilar manner.

6. Form the base into a tube for the box shape,

to bring the left back side tab perforation fold

to line up with the side edge of the opposite

back, and join the seam, taking care that

bottom edges are aligned.

NOTE that the symmetrical shape of the box tube

will allow it to be flattened as shown here

so that finger pressure can be thoroughly

applied along the seam.

7. Prepare the flaps by bending back the top tab.

Position and attach the flap accent shapes

to the flap base for left and right flaps.

8. Position and attach each flap tab

along the top angled side edge of the

box base.

9. Layer the tag, then attach (optional glue)to the front of the box with punch holes aligned,also position and attach "EASTER" at the topof the back panel.Attach decorative mini brad through punch holes.

10. Prepare the #1 bridge by bending side tabs back.

Position the front double grass shape on the front

of the bridge, between the widest-apart position

hash cuts near the bottom edge.

Bottom straight edges of each should line up.

Position and attach the single grass section

on the backside of the bridge

(shape front is turned so that it will be

seen from the front of the card)

centered between the two middle hash cuts.

11. Prepare the back bridge (#2) be bending backside tabs. Layer the three eggs and theirdecorative overlays.12. Position the two side eggs over thematching bridge shapes and attach, thenposition the center egg between with thebottom edge overlapping the top archof the bridge just enough to get a good connection.

13. With tabs bent back, position the back bridge

into the box interior shape so that it is

approx. 1/3 of the distance forward from the

back panel, and parallel to the front and back.

Top edges of tabs should line up with the

flap crease of side panels.

Glue bridge tabs to the inside sides of

the box base. Before the glue has completely dried . . .

. . . fold the box assembly into its flattened shape

and apply finger pressure through the layers

in the areas where the bridge tabs are being

attached. This will allow the bridge to "self adjust"

slightly so that the box CAN be folded flat in the end.

(Perform this step after the front #1 bridge

is attached also.)

14. Insert the front bridge into the box interior space

in the same fashion, positioning it half way

forward between the back bridge and the box front.

Align the tab tops and adjust to make sure it is

parallel as for the previous bridge, then

attach side tabs, and press flat as before.

15. Prepare the bunny body by layering the

ear "show-thru" underlay base and the body front

as shown on the right. Also attach nose (bottom

aligned at position guide mark on head) and whiskers

to head.

On the back of the head, position and attachthe eye contrast underlay so that the eye holesare covered.(NOTE: blue shape was replaced in the final sample projectwith darker color for stronger contrast.)

16. Position and attach the head to the body base

assembly by lining up head and base head area

edges that match up.

17. NOTE the position markings on the

body "front" shape near each side edge.

Position bunny assembly behind the card frontpanel, sliding it downward until the side guidemarksare even with the box top edges,and overlapping portions together.

4. Form the collar into a tube to overlap thestraight side edge at the opposite side tabperforation line, and glue in place.

5. Prepare the collar shape by adjusting its overall shape

to be a diamond.

Insert the bottom tabs into slots on the top of

the main helmet shape . . .

. . . then on the inside bend the tabs outwardand glue in place.

6. Prepare the side panels by layering on the

accent shapes, matching up cut edges

where they align, as shown.

7. Position (dry fit) the side panel onto the side of the

main shape, left and right panels on the appropriate

side of assembly. NOTE that the punch holes

of each should line up, and the dash cut near the

back edge should line up even with the main

helmet shape (indicated here by pointing right finger).

Take note or mark the area of the panel that

will attach to the main helmet shape (excluding

the very back of the accent shape which remains free.

Apply adhesive to the backside of panel where it

will attach, then re-position according to the dry fit,

and attach in place.

8. Form the main helmet shape/assembly into itshat form by bringing the side edge and front edgetogether, side edge to overlap the perforation ofthe bent-back tab. Glue in place. Repeat foropposite side.Also overlap the back band and attach with brad(s).

9. Prepare the crest build up shape by bending

back on most perforation lines, except nose end

extension at bottom, and side tabs which fold forward.

10. Bring the front center area side straight edgesto overlap the side "boxing" at the flange perforation,and glue in place. Repeat for each segment of the edge,and for both left and right sides.

11. Attach the back segment center portion straightedge along the back side flange, for both leftand right sides.

12. Prepare the crest accent shape by bending thetop two perforation lines back, bottom perf line forward.Position and attach to the front of the crest, lining upthe punch holes of each.

Also prepare the nose reinforcement shape

by bending the top portion back.

Once in place, attach decoration brads

through punch holes.

Position and attach on the backside

of the crest at nose extension.

13. Insert crest tabs into the main helmet shape,beginning at the front . . .

. . . then sliding the back diamond cutout over the

collar extension as the back tabs are inserted.

On the underside of the helmet main shape,

bend the tabs outward and glue in place.

14. Prepare the grill shape by bending back on all

perforation lines.

Position (offset) the lower two grille shapes

and the side accent shapes while the crest

is flat.

15. Bend the lower front to overlap the straight

edge at the adjacent tab/flange perforation line

and join this center front seam.

16. Bring the side straight edges to overlapadjacent tab flange and glue side seams.
